Failed to retrieve data

[ Edited ]
★★★ Novice

Failed to retrieve data, for over a month. Used to work after a router/console reset a MONTH ago but not anymore. I've attempted to tweet at ea support on Twitter and got no response. I've done EVERYTHING In my knowledge I can do to fix it; hard reset, router reset, DMZ, port forwarding, MAC address clear on xbox, reinstalled game, is there ANY other solution? This is getting ridiculous. I can only play eashl and every other game works just fine only NHL has this issue. Edit : my nat type is also open, I'm on Ethernet, Rogers, hitron.

Hello! This is Blake [Edit - Admin.] I see that you are having an issue with connecting to opponents in NHL 17.

I know it can be quite frustrating dealing with connection issues as I am a gamer myself. I promise that I will do my very best to assist with this problem.

Is this issue still occurring or has the issue alleviated itself?

Also try these steps:
CLEAR ALTERNATE MAC ADDRESS

1. Go to Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternative Mac Address > Clear
2. After this shut down the console, disconnect the power cord from the back of the Xbox One and wait two minutes.

4. Once the brick is Orange, start your console.

Failed to Retrieve data PS4

[ Edited ]
★ Novice

Hello, I'm a frequent EASHL player. I play on a league website and today my issues started. I played fine for 3 games with no issues. Then recently everyone in my party besides me can connect to the game. I've reset my playstation, reset my router, closed application, and restored licenses multiple times. None of this has helped. My friends suggested i try going in to a drop in game by myself to see if it would work. It did not work, and this is when it said "failed to retrieve data try again later". I've never had this issue before, and I'm not sure if it is just me having the issues. I thought maybe this is happening do to the upcoming update, but am looking for answers. Also I am on a wireless connection.
Thank you.
